OBTENÇÃO DE ISOLADOS PUROS DE Babesia bovisE Babesia bigemina A PARTIR DE LARVAS E NINFAS DE Boophilus microplus EM BEZERROS NEONATOS PRIVADOS DE COLOSTRO

Climate change implications for the distribution of the babesiosis and anaplasmosis tick vector, Rhipicephalus (Boophilus) microplus

“…Babesiosis and anaplasmosis may be related to the same environmental factors as R. microplus because they depend on this tick as a main vector [6][7][8]. Different wild animals serve as hosts for this tick; the best-studied is the white-tailed deer Odocoileus virginianus [3]: livestock reservoirs of these pathogens include goats [4].…”

“…Different wild animals serve as hosts for this tick; the best-studied is the white-tailed deer Odocoileus virginianus [3]: livestock reservoirs of these pathogens include goats [4]. Host species are important for dispersal, although this tick is not a specialized ectoparasite; this generalist habit facilitates dispersal by wild and livestock animals [6][7][8].…”

“…High incidence of this tick is associated with economic losses, particularly in cattle [5]. This tick is responsible for transmission of the protozoa Babesia bovis and B. bigemina, and the bacterium Anaplasma marginale, which are the main pathogens of bovine babesiosis and anaplasmosis, respectively [6][7][8]. These diseases induce extreme emaciation in livestock, culminating in death.…”
